Kaolin clay mask

This supremely mild clay offers effective cleansing and detoxification without stripping or irritating even the most sensitive complexions.

For centuries, clay has been used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes in many cultures. It is a skincare ritual that hasn’t been lost in time, in fact, most skincare gurus are returning to the basics using the pure form of clay face masks as you see here. The clay is used as a mild exfoliator but also as an effective treatment for skin issues.

The finely milled powder of Kaolin buffs away dullness, leaving skin soft, smooth and glowing. Mix it into a creamy paste with water or a hydrosol or cooled tea to boost its soothing properties. Gently massage in circular motions over your face and body, allowing the fine granules to slough off dry, rough patches. Rinse to reveal revived radiance.

How to activate and apply it:

Simply mix the finely milled powder with a hydrating base like hydrosol, herbal tea, or even plain water to create your own customized treatment. Use a wooden spoon and non-metallic bowl to mix this mineral-rich treatment. Apply with your hands or a wooden brush for mess-free application. Avoid letting it fully dry, and rinse as soon as you start to feel tightening. Follow up with moisturizer.

With regular use, Kaolin draws out toxins, minimizes pores, and restores balance without upsetting your skin’s pH or causing irritation. Its fine, smooth texture makes it ideal for delicate facial treatments as well as head-to-toe polishing. Discover radiantly calm, clarified skin through the pure, simple luxury of this exquisite clay.

DIY Soothing Face Mask:

Create your chamomile clay mask to calm inflammation, rashes, eczema and sensitivities. The clay’s soft texture coupled with chamomile’s anti-inflammatory effects provide cool, comforting relief to irritated skin. As it dries, feel it gently purifying and toning while minimizing the appearance of pores and blemishes. Skin emerges decongested yet deeply hydrated and rested.

Use chamomile hydrosol or prepare a small portion of tea with chamomile flowers, sieve, and let it cool. Use a wooden or ceramic bowl to mix one tablespoon of green clay with one tablespoon of hydrosol/ tea. Use the mask all over the face and let it be semi-dry. This is really important: Do not let the mask dry completely on your face, as soon as you feel it pulling, spray the face with a toner, or make it wet with some water before you rinse it thoroughly. You will notice smoother, cleaner, healthier-looking skin! Follow up with your moisturizer. Use this recipe once every 15 days to keep your skin balanced.

Skin type: 

Dry, sensitive and normal complexions will appreciate its soft, non-stripping nature and smoothing effect. Despite its instant toning and softening results, don’t overuse this powerful mask. Once weekly is perfect for normal skin, while drier types will thrive with bi-weekly treatments.

Why choose a clay powder mask?

While many beauty masks come in pre-made, packaged form, we’ve opted to provide pure, natural clay powder that allows for flexibility and customization:

1. Using a simple clay powder gives you the ability to activate it exactly when you need it, rather than having a premixed mask that begins holding light exposure, making it go bad more quickly. With a pure clay powder, you can simply mix it with a liquid base like water, tea, aloe vera juice, or even yogurt or kefir, when you’re ready to use it, allowing you to make it fresh each time. This helps avoid unnecessary additives or preservatives that come with a pre-made mask.
2. The clay powder also gives you the flexibility to customize the texture and consistency each time, making a thicker or thinner mixture based on your particular needs. You can add additional ingredients like essential oils, herbs, or vitamin-packed produce for specific benefits or skin-nourishing properties.
3. A pure clay powder delivers the ability to create a totally natural, fresh skin treatment each time, full of antioxidants or soothing botanicals, without unnecessary additives. Beyond just hydrating, pure clay powders pave the way for a cleansing, detoxifying, skin revival.
